the syntax and semantics of relativization and quantification

the fact that the head is not overtly Case-marked. It is proposed that the Case of
the head is checked by a matrix clause element and this process is also licensed via
determiner incorporation.
Imbabura Quechua is then shown to differ from Cuzco Quechua both in quantifier
scope and in Case-marking on relative clause heads. These differences lead to the
proposal that head-raising is not mandatory in Imbabura as it is in Cuzco, and
hence Imbabura relative clause heads behave semantically more similarly to their
Japanese counterparts.
Further issues in DP syntax and quantifier semantics are then pursued through
the study of extraction from noun phrases in Cuzco Quechua. It is argued that
the possessor of a noun phrase in existential position may be extracted from its
containing DP, yielding a possessive sentence interpretation. Semantic differences
between continuous and discontinuous noun phrases are studied, and an analysis is
proposed in which an element extracted from a DP must be interpreted externally
to the definiteness head of that phrase.
